0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Hydor AS is a specialized maritime insurance provider based in Norway, focusing on Protection and Indemnity (P&I) and marine liability insurance with fixed premium offerings. The company targets shipowners, charterers, and operators, providing tailored insurance solutions backed by strategic partnerships with top-tier insurers and reinsurers. Hydor holds a strong market position supported by an AA rating from Standard & Poor’s and is a founding member of the Association of Commercial P&I Insurers (ACPII). Technically, the website is built on Drupal 10, leveraging modern libraries such as Bootstrap 5.2, jQuery, and Video.js for multimedia content. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, with a moderate performance profile. Hosting appears to be supported by Cloudflare services, enhancing availability and security. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and implements cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR requirements. However, explicit security headers like CSP and HSTS are not visibly configured, and no public incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are present. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, Hydor’s website demonstrates a professional and trustworthy digital presence appropriate for its niche maritime insurance market. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing incident response policies, and adding vulnerability disclosure mechanisms to further strengthen security posture and compliance.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Hydor AS operates in the specialized maritime insurance sector, offering fixed premium P&I and marine liability insurance products. Their business model emphasizes independence and strategic partnerships, enabling financial stability and expert underwriting. The company targets maritime industry stakeholders such as shipowners and charterers, positioning itself as a trusted partner with a strong reputation evidenced by its AA rating and industry memberships. The website content and structure reflect a focused approach to customer engagement, emphasizing service excellence and operational insight. Growth indicators include a multi-location presence and comprehensive product offerings. The partnership ecosystem includes top-tier insurers and reinsurers, enhancing market credibility.

Security posture

Hydor’s security maturity is moderate to good. The website uses HTTPS exclusively and includes cookie consent aligned with GDPR. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found. However, the absence of explicit security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) and lack of published security or incident response policies indicate areas for improvement. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were detected, limiting transparency for security researchers. Incident response contact channels are not publicly listed. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but could be enhanced to meet higher compliance and resilience standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and dependencies to avoid vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance trust signals by including certifications or compliance badges related to information security and data protection.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern Drupal 10 CMS platform, utilizing contemporary front-end frameworks including Bootstrap 5.2 and jQuery UI components. Multimedia content is delivered via Video.js, and time zone displays use Moment.js with timezone data. The site is mobile-responsive and accessible, with clear navigation and structured content. Hosting and CDN services appear to be provided by Cloudflare, enhancing performance and security. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in loading times and resource management. The technical stack is well-maintained but could benefit from additional security hardening and performance tuning.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
